Who else is watching this sick af wondering if they have meningitis
I survived a bacterial meningitis when I was 9 years old. I came through without any ailments. The doctors were so surprised and were so confused as how I came through without any major chronic ailments. I decided to find out why. This video makes me feel so lucky and greatful
I had meningitis when I was 12. I survived thankfully.
i had meningitis last march 2019 nearly killed. Hard to speak,walk and write/draw. :(
I’m in hospital right now more than 6 days because of this 😢, may god bless her
I had meningococcal meningitis twice, when I was 17 and 21. My 2nd time also ended in a coma but luckily it has not lead to such serious long-term consequences.
I have finally found a doctor (after a very long search because barely any doctor has knowledge in this field) who diagnosed me with a complement deficiency (a congenital immunodeficiency) now I'm on medication and hopefully never get it again but I advice everyone to go to an immunologists if they ever had a bacterial meningitis after the age of 5 because I would have loved to know this the first time and not have to experience it a second time especially since it is such a life-threatening disease.
i survived meningococcal septicaemia when i was 2 years old my parents always said if i'd pull through i would be able to have a dog, fortunately as they wished i pulled through and i got a dog....
...unfourtunately just this week we had to have him put down.
to any one out there or any families just know you're not alone at all, i know it can feel like that sometimes but you really are not alone in any shape or form!
My 2 boys both had meningitis, fortunately they survived, watch our story and their recovery.
Hi
I recovered from meningitis as a child around 6 and I have never been the same. My life is very difficult mentally.
I had this when i was 14, within 12 hours of being absolutely ok, the GP said if I don't get to the hospital now, I would be dead in a few hours, I was in hospital for 2 weeks, 1 week was in a coma, luckily I came out with out loosing any limbs or other side effects.
I got bacterial meningitis at birth and had a very slim chance of surviving or surviving without physical or mental disabilities. Luckily, I survived with zero physical health issues & only mild mental health issues.
A+ GOOD JOB! SHORT N POWERFUL! BLESS YOU Ms.Davies! Ms.Dooley WOW U R INCREDIBLE,Please b careful.U R everywhere doing everything,so happy I found YOUR channel.U "DOOLEY" deserve A HOLIDAY love!!!!! :-0

Hello. I'm from Panamá. Believe it or not I had meningitis more than twice. No doctor has been able to find the reason of my problem. I have lost a substance we have in the brain, I think it is mieline in the left side of my brain. It was shown by different MRI I have been done. According to some neurologists I suffer small seizures and I've got to take medications for all my life, Lamotrigine. I completed high school and university late, but thanks God I did. My case has been very weird, strange, a mytery here. No doctor understand it. They haven't found the cause and don't know if it can happen to me again. I can say it's a terrible illness. One of the times I suffered it I was in coma for around 21 days. I had to take physical therapy for several months. Greetings from Panamá City.
